This is my first illustration board out of the 2 Erte inspired ones I completed. The reason behind this board is that I wanted a simple pose positioned in the middle of the board, and the circle of colour behind the model was inspired by a few of Ertes paintings.
I thought the circle in the background was really effective and different, although I made my circle smaller which I now regret looking at it in comparison to this painting of Ertes above, so this is something I may change in the future. Also i wish i had done the circle in black as it looks way more effective, although as my garment was black I decided to opt for a different although still stronger colour.
I really like the silhouettes and shapes and movement that go into Ertes figures and models, so i decided to try something new and make my model a lot more curvier and with a lot more movement, as i usually make my models more straighter, I liked this effect a lot and thought the overall board looked better with a different model with more movement.
I also added the swirls of movement Erte often puts into his black garments, just to add a bit more flare and texture.
